Britain's CONQUEST OF STEEL will release their 'Victorious In Defeat' 7" single on March 7th via No Face Records.

Having ridden high above the new wave of thrash, narrowly avoided being tagged as part of the New Wave of Heavy Metal, Conquest Of Steel have once more bypassed the industry bullshit to return with a slab of trad-metal and the strength of conviction to resist the forthcoming glam rock resurgence.

Recorded almost entirely live, these three tracks see the band moving away from the gravitas of their conceptual opus (Storm Sword – Rise Of The Dread Queen) and rediscovering their metal roots with ‘Paid In Steel’. ‘Man Of The Dragon’ sees the band embracing the ‘rock’ in honour of their mentor and guide RONNIE JAMES DIO and 'One Thousand Lives (Of War)' is pure adoration of the riff.

These tracks featuring the bands best production to date (Greg Chandler, Priory Studios and ESOTERIC frontman) are bound to blow speakers around the globe.

The Vinyl also features a live rendition of the classic 'I Am Legend', from the bands sophomore release, Hammer And Fist.

The release is strictly limited to 333 hand numbered copies and will be pressed onto Blood Red Vinyl, set inside a deluxe gatefold sleeve, with full colour inlay.

Each copy will come with a hand-printed Conquest Of Steel Patch and limited edition plectrum.

For wimps and posers, a download code will be available within each record, enabling purchasers to download mp3 versions of the tracks.

The single will be available direct from the band's website and label website and at all gigs.
